Thanks for the Honesty; Fiji Taro and Kava! by: Jonathan
Thank you for your quick and honest reply.
Firstly you are free to use my communications with you on a page within the 'Fiji Friends' page. Please use only my first name - Jonathan. Thanks!
Second if its not too much trouble for you I would gladly accept a sample and give testimonial for your use as you see fit.
The kava bowl is a generous offer but not required now - perhaps I'll get them as part of my first order. I will prepare the kava as per the exact directions on your site. I'm still relatively new to kava.
What are the next steps for the sample? This will be good as it will also set an approximate time line so I know how long it will take to ship and space apart my orders accordingly.
This is an excellent philosophy you have and your site presents itself quite well. The personal reply is a nice touch and this is the way in which I prefer doing business. I feel as though I would be supporting honest people making good use of the profits and not sponsoring some greedy business mans lavish vacation!
Thanks again,
Hope to hear from you soon

Yes; Kava is for Canada definitely! by: Simione
Jonathan,
Thank you very much for your views:
We're often reminded of the cliche; "you get what you pay for". And while this is true sometimes it never always is. The tactic of availing this 'wonder drug' to the world at such a cheap price in no way reduces the potency but rather has been
set with the desire to attract the numbers. (What we lose in margins, we will recoup in volume). Besides, a careful reading of the site will reveal the nature of my philosophy. That is ...to share our good fortunes with the wider brotherhood of man.
The good book says we should love one another. And that is exactly what I've set out to do, by firstly, helping the often forgotten rural farmers in securing markets, and secondly, availing our wonder drug to those that do need it. After all we are all brothers. This then is the rationale behind our low price and is not founded on any inferior offer.
With my business philosophy understood, permit me to cover your concerns, viz;
1. Do you provide samples? I normally don't..., but in your instance - to prove the sincerity of my efforts - I will gladly send a sample if you will agree to provide a testimonial and secondly; drink the kava as I explain on the sales page.
That is using a water soluble mix derived with use of a mixing bag - offered with every purchase free. If you need it, I can also send you a kava bowl to complete the kava session.
2. Paypal - Would you believe I don't even have a 'credit card' so as to complete Paypal's registration requirements? Paypal uses this CC to authenticate each applicant, so I wasn't able to complete registration. More importantly however,
Paypal is not represented locally by any bank, hence sales proceeds would take a month before I could draw on them.
As my business currently is a 'shoestring' budget one and has been set up on the premise that sales funds will be used to pay for postage and insurance, it is imperative that these funds be available immediately. Note that I don't buy the kava as our farmers finance this.
Currently I am seeking government export help and should this be forthcoming I could then comfortably incorporate paypal in the offer.
That's it Jonathan. I look forward to your comment(s).
